Collaborative, hands-on learning in science, technology, engineering and mathematics for all levels of experience!
Tech Camp features a dynamic, project-based format that emphasizes experiential learning, creative thinking and problem solving. Students will explore a subject by working as part of a team to investigate and respond to a complex question, challenge or problem. Day and residential options available. Tuition for non-sponsored programs is $700 per week for day students and $1,350 per week for residential students.
Topics include computer science, civil engineering, forensics, environmental science, virtual reality, space science, rocketry and more. Returning this year are innovative projects funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health that focus on regenerative medicine and biofabrication.
More about our programs:
- TechSplorers. A program for students entering grades 5-8 that explores a wide range of STEM subject areas through day-long, hands-on activities. Subject areas may include forensic science, computer coding, environmental science, engineering and more. Each day is a new adventure! Limited scholarships (covers one week of camp with the option for residency) are available.
- TechVenturers. A program for students entering grades 8-10. Participants focus on a single, in-depth, weeklong project of their own choosing related to various areas of science, engineering and technology. Participants will engage in the engineering design process, problem-solving exercises and a camp-wide presentation session at the end of the week. Limited scholarships (covering one week of camp with the option for residency) are available.
- TechLeaders. A program for students entering grades 9-12. Much like the TechVenturers program, participants focus on a single, in-depth, weeklong project of their own choosing related to various areas of science, engineering and technology, as well as leadership and entrepreneurship activities for those considering a STEM-related career. Limited scholarships (covering one week of camp with the option for residency) are available.
- Dinah Whipple STEAM Academy. A program for students entering grades 5-12. Participants explore science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics (STEAM), as well as subjects focused on the Black experience. All skill levels and backgrounds welcome. This program is offered at no cost to participants.
- Manchester Tech Camp. In addition to our Durham-based camps, we also offer summer day programs on the UNH Manchester campus for students in grades 5-12 who are enrolled in the Manchester School district. A number of different STEAM subjects are offered, all explored through experiential, hands-on activities. All experience levels welcome. Programs are offered at no cost to participants.
